“Has he said that, Jonathan?” Christie shot back. “Jonathan, has he said that? I haven’t heard him say that…he’s silent on the issue, like he’s silent on every issue that’s difficult for him.”
“He’s not silent on this,” countered Capehart. “Governor Christie, he is not! The president and the Justice Department have made it clear that they believe the so-called Defense of Marriage Act is unconstitutional. They’re not supporting it in the court cases going through the Federal court system. As President of the United States, would you support that?”
Christie then became agitated by Capehart’s questioning.
“Hold on, hold on! Jonathan, first of all, I used to be a prosecutor!” snapped Christie. “I’m not going to be cross-examined by you this morning.”
“I’m having fun trying!” exclaimed Capehart.
“And you’re going to lose,” sharply replied Christie. “So let’s just move on.”
